Nice job!  Is that 14 feet?
I'm asking because that front bench seat with the pedestal is not stuffed way up into the bow.  That tiny seat was always my domain when I used to go fishing with my dad and my uncle.  Your boat looks like lots of room up there.

Looks like a very comfortable rig, good job.

One good thing about this boat is the space between the seats even up front there is a platform up front you can stand on I am making it a battery box and storage and yes 14 foot and I set seat on left side so I can run tiller with my right hand I cast left handed

I have a 12' fiberglass that I built a platform on the front, battery goes inside. It sits on a small trailer with an ATV winch to load it. I am probably going to sell the boat and trailer.
